The South Carolina Attorney General's Office said an Upstate man is facing ten charges connected to the sexual exploitation of a child.

Officials said 36-year-old Denn Chhay Pal was found to be in possession of child pornography and taken into custody on Tuesday. Pal is charged with eight counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

He was booked into the Spartanburg County Detention Center but later released on bond.

According to online jail records, Pal was previously charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime and trafficking more than 10 pounds of marijuana, first offense.

The Attorney General's Office will prosecute the case against Pal connected to child pornography.
